Influences
Dedicated to the people who inspire me.
Trong Hoang
One of my biggest inspirations is Trong Hoang. He really is great at working with the bare minimum in terms of the environment that he photographs and his compositions are so well thought out and that inspires me to work with the bare minimum. I don’t need to go to a pristine national park to find great compositions – Trong has shot plenty of photos in Tyler, Texas, a city most Americans haven’t heard of, and that inspires me.

Danielle Wisemiller
Danielle’s guidance and knowledge with film + ability find work with what is present to frame a photo is inspiring. She’s taken a lot of iconic photos of New York and the Tetons as well as DC street photography and cherry blossoms that makes her work really unique.

Emilie Hofferber
Emilie’s overall composition, colors and iconic stories of the photos that she takes, as well as the inclusion of wildlife elements and the moon are inspiring. She’s a pioneer in the field and puts in the work day in and day out and I’m never bored with looking at her work.
